279Online Learning Program 6-8

Summary:

279Online Learning Program 6-8 is a public virtual middle school located in Brooklyn Park, Minnesota, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 99 students. The school is part of the Osseo Public School District, which has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

The school has a diverse student population, with 32.32% White, 19.19% African American, 15.15% Hispanic, and 25.25% Asian students. However, it struggles academically, with significantly lower proficiency rates on the MCA-III assessments compared to the district and state averages. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the school's proficiency rates in Math (14.49%), Reading (25%), and Science (6.45%) were well below the district and state levels. The school's rankings for specific student subgroups, such as Female Students, Male Students, African American Students, and Low Socio-Economic Status Students, are particularly low, with many ranking in the bottom 10-20% of Minnesota middle schools.

While the nearby Osseo Middle School and Maple Grove Middle School perform significantly better on academic measures, the nearby North View Middle School and Brooklyn Center Middle School also struggle with low proficiency rates, suggesting broader challenges in the region. The school's virtual learning model, diverse student population, and high proportion of students from low-income families (56.57%) may be contributing factors to its academic challenges, which warrant further investigation and targeted interventions to improve student outcomes.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
